Shared costs are ongoing. Your tracker should be too.
For roommates, partners, and anyone splitting costs over weeks, months, or years. Track every expense, maintain running balances, and settle up on your own schedule.
This is for you if...
- ✓You split rent, groceries, and utilities with someone regularly
- ✓You and your partner take turns covering things but lose track
- ✓You've tried apps that are great for trips but awkward for everyday life
- ✓You want a long-term system, not a one-time calculator
One-time splits are easy. The hard part is tracking shared costs over months -- when small expenses pile up and memory fades.
Designed for the long haul
Are We Even isn't just for trips and events. It's built for the ongoing, everyday expense sharing that actually makes up most of life.
Roommates. Partners. Co-parents. Neighbors. Anyone sharing costs regularly.
Why ongoing expense sharing breaks down
Small purchases vanish from memory
You bought laundry detergent. They got coffee filters. Neither of you remembers by Friday.
"We'll figure it out later" never happens
You both mean it when you say it. But later never comes, and the imbalance quietly grows.
Payment apps track transactions, not relationships
Venmo shows what you sent. It doesn't show the running balance of who's ahead over the past three months.
It feels petty to track small things
But not tracking them means one person always absorbs more. Over time, that builds resentment.
A running balance that never forgets
Are We Even maintains a continuous balance between you and the people you share costs with. Every expense -- big or small -- is captured and calculated. No awkward check-ins. No monthly reconciliation. No guessing. The balance is always there. Settle when you're ready.
- Continuous tracking across weeks and months
- Every expense logged with date and detail
- Settle on whatever schedule works for you
How it works
Set up your group
Add the people you share costs with. Could be one person, could be five.
Log expenses as they happen
Groceries, utilities, takeout, household supplies. Ten seconds per entry.
The balance accumulates
No need to settle after every purchase. The running total tracks everything.
Settle periodically
Monthly, quarterly, or whenever. Check the balance, send a payment, done.
Your shared financial picture
Expenses, balances, and history for every shared relationship. Always current. Always accessible.
Features
Running balances
Not just individual transactions -- a continuous balance that grows and shrinks over time.
Expense history
Scroll back through months of shared costs. Every entry is timestamped and detailed.
Flexible settlement
Settle the full balance or just part of it. The app adjusts.
Multiple groups
Separate trackers for different relationships. Roommates in one, partner in another.
What people track over time
Why ongoing tracking needs a dedicated tool
| Method | The Problem |
|---|---|
| Taking turns paying | imbalances build up invisibly |
| Venmo after each purchase | tedious and transactional |
| Spreadsheets | requires constant maintenance |
| Memory | unreliable after 48 hours |
| Are We Even | running balance, automatic tracking, settle anytime |
It doesn't have to feel like accounting
Logging an expense takes ten seconds. The app does the rest. You're not maintaining a ledger -- you're just noting who paid. The balance takes care of itself. Think of it less like tracking and more like remembering -- except it actually works.
Frequently Asked Questions
- Is this different from a trip expense splitter?
- Yes. Trip splitters are designed for short-term groups. Are We Even works for ongoing relationships where costs accumulate over months or years.
- Can I see a history of all past expenses?
- Yes. Full history with dates, amounts, descriptions, and who paid. Scroll back as far as you need.
- What happens when we settle up?
- Record a settlement. The balance resets (or adjusts if you settle partially). All past expenses remain in the history.
Shared costs deserve shared visibility.
Track everything. Settle when it makes sense. Keep things fair over time.
